Lawfare is what happened to most of the Pink Tide presidents.
"The name Lawfare refers both to the use of law as a weapon of conflict and, perhaps more importantly, to the depressing reality that America remains at war with itself over the law governing its warfare with others. This latter sense of the word—which is admittedly not its normal usage—binds together a great deal of our work over the years. It is our hope to provide an ongoing commentary on America’s lawfare, even as we participate in many of its skirmishes."
No country in the world can escape the clutches of war and capitalism and imperialism.
I think your host does not analyze the issues within an economic context and for this the analysis seems tepid.
"In 1925, Trotsky wrote in his pamphlet Towards Socialism or Capitalism? analysing the future course of the Soviet Union: “Academically, it is understood, one can construct within the boundaries of the USSR an enclosed and internally balanced socialist economy; but the long historic road to this ‘national’ ideal would lead through gigantic economic shifts, social convulsions and crises…
“The impossibility of constructing a self-sufficient socialist economy in a single country revives the basic contradictions of socialist construction at every new stage on an extended scale and in greater depth.
In this sense, the dictatorship of the proletariat in the USSR would inevitably have to suffer destruction if the capitalist regime in the rest of the world would prove to be capable of maintaining itself for another long historical epoch.”
Trotsky’s farsighted prognosis was to prove correct. The Soviet Stalinist bureaucracy dissolved the Soviet Union in 1991 and opened it up to capitalist plunder.
The deformed workers’ state that emerged in China after the 1949 Revolution proved even weaker and more vulnerable—opening the door to capitalist market forces and global corporate investment from 1978 onwards.
What the president of Belarus is doing is called Wage and Price Controls, done by Richard Nixon in the 70's.
This is one reason Nixon was impeached.
But now, with the global capitalist octopus there is no reigning in corporations.
They form cartels that then curry favor with fascists to employ them as 'public officials.'
Liberalism is dead. We need a socialist revolution.
